The dollar has rebounded and now Japan is much more affordable than in the past. Non-stop service from several U.S. cities to Tokyo and other Japanese cities makes this probably one of the easiest treks to the Orient. Tokyo is a busy city and very modern. In our opinion to experience the true beauty of Japan you need to spend time in the countryside and small villages. Here time moves slower and with much more grace and beauty. Bullet trains will whisk you around this island nation or we can arrange for a private driver (very expensive).
